Any ideas ?

Try asking vmware, it's their code that isn't working, not much we can do about it, sorry :) And yes, they know they need to update their code, see the comments on the linux-kernel mailing list for details about this... thanks, greg k-h --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
